BERLIN, Oct 22.-The Official Press in
repeating its denial of the report that the
Gar was to have meeting with Emperor
William, uses language of plain and almost
ostentatious enmlty toward Russia. An in
terview is declared to be not a mere matter
of Indifference, but is objected to by high
neIsonages in Germany The personal re-
iations between the Gar and Emperor Will
liam. once so important a factor in European
politics, can no longer continue on their old
footing of friendship as the position of
Germany toward her allies, Austria and
Ttalv. forbids it. The anti-German pro-
clivities of the present Car are contrasted
with the lifelong friendship of his father
for Emperor William and his people, and
the conclusion is drawn that an interview
would he unpleasant to both sides.
OTHER EVIDENCE OF FRICTION.
Besides these strongly suggestive com
nents there is increasing evidence of
Petersburg The Russian press censor per-
mitted yesterdays NdUoe VrenlyG to pre-
dict such early action by Russia in Bulgaria
as would defeat the objects of the triple al
lance. sand show that Russia is neither
isolated nor incapable of carrying out
her victorious policy The Pan-Slavist
papers are having free play in denouncing
Germany. The Cars route for returning
TO Russia is subject daily to surmise as it is
considered unadvisable that he touch Ger
man soil and the frozen Baltic may make
his waV homeward matter of limited
choice Yesterday the route fixed was Riga
or Libau if the ice blocked Cronstadt. Any
way it is declared that the Gar must not
pass through Germany.
The economic war between Russia and
Germany has had fresh development i'll the
Cars ukase giving English and French
imports preference rates. English goods OBJ
tanning a remission of 90 per cent. because
England levies no duty on Russian corn
and French goods 10 per cent. rebate be-
cause of the limited duty levied by France
on Russian corn. The obvious aim of the
edict is to strike blow at German trade.
WAR PREPARATIONS.
To these evidences of hostilities are now
added increased military preparations on
the frontier A nStable cessation occurred
in this work G'.Y'ks5 the progress of the
negotiations oecweon Prince Bismarck and
Prince DeGiers for an entente on the East
ern question, but since the triple alliance
became known there has been feverish ac-
celerations OF the work on the Notifications
at Warsaw, Ivan, Garod, BreSt and Lilo
visk Gen. Gourko is to organize an i'm
nlense camp near Warsaw New fortiica-
tions are also being constructed around Ka-
vono and Bielastok. Some activity is
noticeable along the Austrian frontier.
The German War Office responds by
enlarging the camp at GrandenZ, construct
ing six new forts around Thorn and
strengthening the works at PoSen, Golgna,
Pillan and Konigsberg. The energies of
the War Office are at present concentrated
on the eastern frontier.
Regarding Prince Bismarck's reply to the
new prohibition OF German trade, 1t will be
seen Immediately upon the meeting of the
Reichstag thaa in tn bill raising the duties
on corn the attack is to be resumed
Russian securities have again been offered
indiscriminately for sale The present re-
suit of this tension of the relations is an
increased bitterness and enmty between
the two peoples The Russian press prophe-
lies that important diplomatic action will
be taken by the Cars government soon
after his return to Moscow. These menaces,
however, do not alarm Germany, which is
confident of her own strength and the Sc
rurity of the triple alliance
AN AMBIGUOUS. COMMUNIQUE.
An ambiguous official communique COM
ing from Moscow Tonight, is giving rise to
various sIlrmises as to the Cars designs.
Count Laursdorff, director of the Cars
diplomatic bureau, who has just returned
from Copenhagen, brought an utterance
from the Car which, as given to
the press, is that IAN immediate
solution of the Bulgarian crisis
should be found" Not word more iscom-
municated to explain the act. Well III
formed officials regard the utterance as g
pacific one, and it is supposed to point tc
some new diplomatic scheme for a settle
ment of the Bulgarian question.
ITALY AND THE VATICAN.
The Bismarck -Crispi arrangement to es
tahlsh HoduS rirendi between the Holy
See and Italy has not prospered. Advices
from Rome to the Germ0nid state that
Prince Bismarck intimated to the Vatican
that he was authorized to inform the Holy
See what concessions the Italian government
was disposed to offer. At the same time
Prince Bismarck declined to be responsible
for the conduct officially of the
negotiations, and merely Offered
TO he friendly medium. The
Naticans reply was a query whether Italy
would acknowledge the absolute inde
pendence of the Holy See with the restitu
ton of part of Rome as the Pope's sine qua
HOH. log. CriSpl dld rot entertain UheSt
terms, and Prince Bisnarcks action in the
meantime has cooled
new cause for a fierce quarrel has
arisen in the law abolishing the Polist
language in the schools i'll the Polish
speaking provinces of Posen, West
Prussia and Silesia. The Catholic
press declares that the clergy will not obey
the law, and that they cannot share in &

which the people learn their religious and
moral duties A portion of the Progressive
press approves this defiance of the Catho
